Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup peanut flour or peanut butter powder (such as PB2)
  • 3/4 cup (about 3 1/2 oz.) instant flour (such as Wondra)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 1 1/2 lb.)
  • Hot sauce

Method

  • Whisk together flours, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and 1 teaspoon of the salt in a large bowl.
  • Heat oil in a large, high-sided skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Dredge chicken in flour mixture, pressing to adhere. Working in 2 batches, place chicken, smooth side down, in oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking. Drain on a wire rack. Season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Serve immediately with hot sauce.
